^idk just some info ppl wouldn't necessarily know. start from the beginning I guess

one of my best friends is named Oliver and he's trans, a lot of the time of he's called to the office in school they will call up "Emily ******" instead of "Oliver ******." during our 8th grade graduation, when he was called up to get his "diploma" or whatever, the guidance counselor - who refers to him as Oliver or Oli - called him Emily instead of Oliver. After the ceremony was over, he was crying because he was so upset. (I heard the last sentence from his boyfriend) hope this helps??? i guess?? idk

hi there I'm nonbinary and that pretty much falls under the category of trans so I guess I count, but honestly some people just think that trans people are just men who want to be women or vice versa but it's really not that. being trans is more of something you feel rather than something you want. there have been times when I'm totally comfortable in my body but then there are days when I'm crying and binding unsafely because I can't stand myself. when you can't transition it's a terrible feeling because you're forced to be someone you're not, and being misgendered is like a stab to the heart. for some it's their birth name that triggers dysphoria and for others it's being called by the wrong pronouns. trans people aren't looking for attention, they just wanna be themselves. I hope this was a good thing to share??

I'm a gal at birth but a dude at heart... or just simply trans ftm. I prefer everyone to call me by my masculine name, Shean, but almost every one calls me by my birth name. The only people that actually respect my decisions are two people. My best friends. Everyone else picks on me and calls me a "transy" or an "abomination to society". I get pushed around or picked on at school. Then it gets worse because when I get home, my parents call me their "baby girl" or their "beautiful daughter" or just simply by using the female pronouns. I haven't told them that I'm a transgender guy or that I'm bullied for it. I'm too scared that they won't accept me. So everyday I try to dress and act masculine in hopes of someone changing their minds of bullying me but it never works. It's just too triggering to go through that routine every day of my life. Hopefully that in the near future, this will all change. I hope this helped.
